I was so so happy with my lips today. I mus have been severely dehydrated because my face actually looked kind of thin, which always make my lips look bigger. And then, I discovered this neat trick that makes my lips POP! See, I can't wear lipstick alone because that always dries out and invariably chaps my all too sensitive lippies. So I always put on a layer of lip balm (Palmer's cocoa butter works wonders and doesn't give me lip zits either) before applying the lipstick. And so, the color always gets diluted, and I can literally see the pigment particles getting separated and smooshed around. But in the last couple of days, I apply lip balm just ONCE in the morning, running it over my lips several times, and then I really layer that lipstick on. For the rest of the day, I'll reapply the lipstick maybe 2, 3 times (?), just really putting it on thick, and skipping the balm, and I clean/flatten the lipstick head out with a tissue between applications. The weather is still hot and humid, and this helps and probably explains why my lips haven't chapped at all. And then the humongous pigment build up just makes my lips look so plump and thick. And I use just regular ol' Revlon Rose Velvet, nothing fancy. Doesn't sting my lips either. Anywho, bit of a disappointment when the lipstick comes off cuz my plain lips look just so not big enough.

I actually thought of getting some lip implants (forget what they're called) because I don't think my lips are wide enough for my face. But apparently lip implants have enormous high rate of infection. Not sexy. Ah fuck. Maybe if I go on a diet, my face will thin down some. It's just so fucking puffy right now. I swear, when my face is thin, I can FEEL it. I just can. It's a clean feeling. And it feels good. All I need to do really is cut down on the liquid and other puff stuff. But god, how do I live, how do I live, without juice.
